My reorganization odyssey’s almost done! I’m sure there are going to be some things that are still pretty messy, but overall I think I’ve gotten a lot straightened out and I’ve learned a lot. I wanna put in my vote for being able to update only one or two columns at a time. I’m going to have to re-run the metadata on all of my six over the next few days because of figuring things out over the course of what was supposed to be simply going through my tags.
I have one question and a suggestion:
I’ve read through most of the wiki, but I may just not be quite putting the logic together correctly. Since archive doesn’t really use its genre category I was Thinking I’d include freeform tags in genre, and then only the ones I’ve parred down to match ffnet’s genres (plus smut.) But then if I wanted to take them out of the tags, would it cancel out? I know it’s like the rainbow dash example I’m just failing at abstracting. The issue would be any extra entry would either pull from freeformtags or not have “Omg so fluffy!” changed to “fluff.”
otherwise I’d keep them in freeformtags and create an entry that has them removed and to be used anywhere I don’t want duplicates. A genre column would take a little bit more out of my tags column so that I could keep more of the unique tags, you know?
My idea came from setting up a log page. I’m really behind in reading fanfiction, and not just because I’ve been organizing it ha ha. And there are several things that have added chapters multiple times since I caught up. I used the AO3 chapter index to figure out how many chapters I had missed, and it shows when each chapter was uploaded so I could update my progress column and know what I’d missed. Now I’ll have the log, but is there anyway to use the chapter index information to populate a page with the full history? Even if it was in place of the plug-in log page, it would be helpful. I know it’s only one side so that might be too much work for it, but the thought of having that in the file made me really excited, and I wish I had known about the feature ages ago
